Despite a fourth straight National League victory Gary Mills was refusing to talk about his side's chances of finishing in the play-offs, but did intimate the Dragons had loftier ambitions.

A 1-0 win over Aldershot at the Ebb Stadium saw Wrexham climb to sixth in the standings, and sit just a solitary point behind Lincoln City in the final play-off spot, but more importantly closed the gap on leaders Cheltenham to just seven points.

Wes York’s strike just after the hour mark ensured the win for Mills’s men on a bitterly cold day in Hampshire when chances were at a premium for both sides on a pitch that was causing problems for either set of players.

When asked how much this win would serve as a boost for the Dragons play-off hopes, Mills replied: “It is November and I don’t want to talk about play-offs or anything like that at this moment in time, somebody has got to win the league and everyone keeps talking to me about the play-offs, but someone has got to win the league.

“I just want to keep winning football matches and see where it takes us, but it is certainly getting another away win, a fourth straight win and it builds confidence, and it gives us belief.

“I have told the players I feel we have got a great belief and team spirit in the dressing room. And I was listening to Chris Coleman earlier on the TV and he was talking about how he has got the Welsh team as a league side, and they have got a spirit in there, and without that spirit you have got no chance.

“We have got that spirit, we are together and work for each other and you can see that, it is a fantastic feeling when you have got that, and when you have got that you have always got a chance.”

Mills was a happy man after seeing his side claim all three points in what was a hard fought victory yet thoroughly deserved win.

Aldershot rarely threatened the Dragons goal with Cameron Belford – recalled to the side after an injury to Rhys Taylor – dealing with only sporadic attacks from the home side, who were reduced to 10-men following a red card to Jake Gallagher, amazingly his third in the last three home games for the Shots.

Mills added: “I thought we had a good shape about us, that was important, we have talked about that all week and how we were going to play and I thought our shape was really, really good, we had to be patient again, I said that last week.

Can Wrexham FC win the league?

0+ VOTES SO FAR

“I always feel there are goals in us, I always feel that one of that front five are going to score for us, I think we deserved it, no two ways about that, but to come away from home anywhere and win 1-0 is a great result for us, it is my favourite result I keep saying that, but it is another clean sheet, I am pleased for Cameron, pleased for everybody and it is a great three points for us.

“They had a spell, but I never felt threatened, I have got to say I didn’t feel they were going to score, we had a good shape about us. We were getting a little bit frustrated and giving the ball away, particularly when they went down to 10-men we could have kept the ball a bit better, but we have come away from home in this league, we have kept a clean sheet, got a goal and we have got three points and it backs up the last three wins.

“So that is four wins now and it is a league that you have to put those type of runs together to be successful and we have put four together now and we will put this behind us and go for the fifth next week.”
